Apologies - glitch at this end - sending complete NOW

Hiya Guest, I don't think DG would care one way or the other - I would imagine he's got enough to go on with, like everyone else ( I'm assuming your not Dick !) . Strange thing though - now you come to mention it / or at least I've got round to thinking of it - I can't recall anyone singing that particular song in a Folk Club - or for that matter "Match stick men and dogs" etc. Were they in some way considered by the Folk scene "Off -limits " because they had reached commercial popularity ? It's difficult to know how it all works.
I have heard Chubby Brown singing the "Day trip to Bangor" which wasn't in a Folk Club - !! and I enjoyed the parody infinitely better than the original - but I'm that naughty type of person.
